J. David Jackson memorial tree planting ceremony

The morning of Thursday, Sept. 22, 2016 promised to be perhaps the last warm day of the year.

At 10:00am, on the east lawn, the Department of Physics and Astronomy held a ceremonial tree planting in memory of the late physicist John David Jackson, a London boy who became a giant in the field of physics.

Department Chair Bob Sica commenced the planting ceremony for the healthy looking red maple tree by reciting the wording for a plaque which commemorates David Jackson's career and his impact on the world of physics.
